Heisenji Hakusan Shrine (平泉寺白山神社, Heisenji Hakusan Jinja) is an important Shinto shrine located at the forested base of Mount Hakusan in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, and known for its mossy surroundings and serene atmosphere.

Founded in 717 as a Buddhist temple, it served as a base for pilgrimages to Mount Hakusan, the sacred mountain it is devoted to. By the 1500s, it had grown into a huge and politically powerful temple complex with thousands of monks and warrior monks living within its grounds.

After being burnt down and rebuilt multiple times, the complex was ultimately destroyed following uprisings in 1574 and never regained its former status. When Buddhism was forcefully separated from Shinto during the Meiji Period (1868-1912), the remaining complex, which consisted of both Buddhist and Shinto buildings, was turned into a Shinto shrine, which it remains today, albeit integrating the former temple's name, Heisenji, into its name.

Heisenji Hakusan Shrine's main grounds are very spacious, serene and unmanned. From the entrance, a path of around 600 meters leads slightly uphill through mossy spaces lined with tall cedar trees, passing several torii gates and a pond on its way to the prayer hall. Immediately behind the prayer hall stands the main hall, flanked by two smaller buildings in an arrangement to represent Mount Hakusan's three peaks.

From this point, visitors can choose to walk a further 400 meters into the forest to a small inner shrine called the Sannomiya, which also marks the beginning of the traditional pilgrimage trail leading to the summit of Mount Hakusan.

Adjacent to the south of the forested shrine grounds, visitors can explore some of the overgrown ruins that remain from the complex from when it was even larger than today. The area has a pleasant rural feel, but not too many remains can be seen.

Steam For Linux Finally Goes 64-Bit

Valve has released a new Steam Client beta that finally moves the Linux client to 64-bit architecture, while also placing it inside a containerized Steam Runtime environment. However, Linux users still need 32-bit libraries and graphics drivers for compatibility, meaning fully 64-bit-only systems remain unsupported. VideoCardz.com reports: Valve's updated requirements explicitly state that 64-bit-only installations are not supported. Systems must still provide both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries and graphics drivers, including multilib support. The new client also requires Linux kernel 5.6 or newer and glibc 2.31 or newer.

The update also introduces Steam Achievement Sets, a feature we covered earlier that allows developers to organize achievements into separate groups for base games, DLCs and seasonal content. Players can complete individual sets without losing their existing completion status when developers add more achievements. Valve has also updated the achievements page to display progress across these groups.

The 64-bit Linux client and Achievement Sets are currently available through the Steam Client Beta. Valve has not confirmed when these changes will reach the stable Linux release. Until then, users on the regular Steam client will continue using the existing architecture.
